Farrah died at 9:28 am west coat time. “Farah’s Story” was recently was popular on Television. Farah Fawcett was a TV and movie icon for 40 years.
“it is impossible to overstate the cultural influence of Farrah Fawcett.
With her practice-makes-perfect blue-eyed smile and doomed marriage to “The Six Million Dollar Man” Lee Majors, she was Princess Di before there was a Princess Di, a photogenic icon who just seemed nice. With her determination to show that she could play against image and defy expectations (“The Burning Bed,” “Extremities”), she was a role model for every actor who has been typecast, every star whose talent has been questioned. Yes, by giving millions of American females an alternative to the very severe Dorothy Hamill bob, she single-handedly established the blow-dryer and curling-iron industries and created the whole career-path-through hairstyle phenomenon.”
Farrah Fawcett a cultural icon is gone.

In his various roles he showed boomers & the White Anglo Saxon Protestants in the 70′s that there was more to life than WASP.
I am a big fan of his early roles.
He ushered in cultural changes and expanded the mindsets of many around the world.
Sadly Media reports indicate he commited suicide.
Again I bid farewell to a TV icon and one of my heros.
“Carradine was a leading member of a venerable Hollywood acting family that included his father, character actor John Carradine, and brother Keith.
In all, he appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby.
But he was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest traveling the 1800s American frontier West in the TV series “Kung Fu,” which aired in 1972-75.
He reprised the role in a mid-1980s TV movie and played Caine’s grandson in the 1990s syndicated series “Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.”
He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino’s two-part saga Kill Bill.”
